We took a look at Team Whiskey’s latest ROM titled Nero V3 for the T-Mobile Vibrant. I am sure many of you have flashed this amazing ROM and I hope you have all had great success with it like I have. As with all great ROMs, someone out there will take it and make it better, even if it is only via a theme addition.
Themer jdanisevich, has put together a great little modification for the Nero ROMs. He claims it’s not really a theme, and he’s right. There are only a few slight modifications that have been done that add just enough newness to make the ROM even better. Here is the official statement from jdanisevich:
First off I’d like to give a HUGE thanks to Jocelyn of Team Whiskey for letting me use her images for my accurate battery mod. A lot of GB theming fixes in this version including 3G icons when not in use, WiFi signal strength now displays correctly (this was broken in Nero v3, not just my themes), added back TWiz text selection as it’s easier to use, lots of various icon fixes, and most importantly Jocelyn‘s accurate battery mod. Removed 5 bar signal strength mod that was in the beta until I can find a way to get it to work properly with the Nero v3 framework. Made from and for Nero v3, may be back compatible, currently unconfirmed. (If you would like to test back compatibility, please make sure you are familiar with adb, or know how to make an update.zip of your original framework-res.apk. If it doesn’t work you may be stuck in a bootloop, so be ready to fix it just in case beforehand. I am not responsible for any soft-bricking you experience, or damaged or lost files/data from having to reflash without making a backup.)
What really makes me happy about this “theme” and developer is that he takes great care in giving you plenty of options plus all restore files to revert back if you aren’t happy. It makes trying it out pretty painless. The two main changes that I have noticed in these files are the flying animations, which are really cool, and the battery mod that delivers the percentage in the status bar.
The developer has also added a list of other goodies to his page if you are interested. A WiFi calling app that works, fully working themed Swype, modified camera for FFC, MMS notification mods and even a few boot screens..
If you are interested in adding just a little twist to your already awesome Nero ROM, head on over to jdanisevich xda-developers page and skim through what he has available.
Happy flashing everyone.
